Can the iDice team please make an official statement concerning the Scam accusations? I'm aware that ETHRoll source code was used. What I don't know is why. The statement about using ETHroll code because of "all dice game code are almost the same" isn't very convincing. And these are redflags that could harm the project. If not during the ICO, but in the long run. To succeed in the market You need a unique product.
Not only that but they used an old version of the code which doesn't have a lot of the good changes etheroll has made recently.
Is this true? I was looking forward to invest in this ICO.
I'm very interested in this project but I need this question answered as well
Hello everyone,
I'm Jordan, the Founder and CEO of iDice.
We are aware of the accusations that have been made against us. We referenced Etheroll's open source code and have added several additional functions on top of it: it is clear to see that although some parts may be similar, it is not an exact replica. The smart contract you are seeing right now is purely for our beta release. Our intentions in using Etheroll's old code was to protect our final product from malicious copycat attempts from potential competitors. If we really wanted to copy Etheroll's source code, we would have used their current code with all the improvements they have made. A lot of you are raising an issue of our outrageously high house edge. We set the house edge to 6.5% only to test our game beta, it was not meant to be an official launch. We are aware that a competitive house edge is around 1% and we did not falsely advertise the house edge of our beta in any way.
I personally guarantee that the official mobile and desktop versions of iDice will have a source code that is completely unique to our platform. The team is working around the clock to expedite the official release of iDice for desktop and mobile platforms (which will have a house edge of 1%).
We made a mistake, and I apologize for the inappropriate manner that we handled this situation. We truly did not intend to lie to potential investors. We are not a scam project; our goal is to revolutionize blockchain gambling through mobile devices.
Thank you for understanding,
-Jordan Wong
